How can I make atom-beautify work with html in php file?

Question

I installed the atom-beautify package in my Atom Editor.

I open a file index.php

 <ul>
 <li>Coffee</li>
        <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Milk</li>
        </ul>

then I make the command "Beautify".

But my code still looks like this:

 <ul>
 <li>Coffee</li>
        <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Milk</li>
        </ul>

I expect the code to change to this:

 <ul>
   <li>Coffee</li>
   <li>Tea</li>
   <li>Milk</li>
 </ul>

Have you tried it with a "pure" PHP file? Could be the package doesn't recognize HTML in PHP — brombeer, Jun 14 '18 at 10:53

Have you ever tried keying "beautify html" in atom command line? (using CMD+shift+P in Atom to open command line) It works for me.

Taking 吳品儒 's answer further and making things easier, you can create a keybinding.

Open Atom >> File >> Settings >> Keybindings. There will be a leyend on top of the search bar that goes like this "You can override these keybindings by copying and pasting them into your keymap file", click on it, it should open a keymap.cson

Copy this code and paste it at the end of the file:

'atom-text-editor':
  'ctrl-alt-n': 'atom-beautify:beautify-language-html'

To my knowledge, you can't.

You can, however, stick the HTML into a new tab, set the language as HTML, then beautify. Simply paste it back over.

Wow, I can't imagine. Because in the Brackets Editor this works very well. I thought that the Atom Editor is at least as powerful as the Brackets Editor – peace_love Jun 14 '18 at 10:55
Some things, unfortunately, aren't as powerful as Brackets. Some things are equal or better. 'tis the way it is of "rival" editors. – Magictallguy Jun 14 '18 at 10:57
What means "rival"? – peace_love Jun 14 '18 at 10:58
In competition with each other. More people using their product = more exposure. – Magictallguy Jun 14 '18 at 10:59
